Popular Post Newseditor44 Posted June 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2018 So... got to hang out with Crown last night at Gee Dub. Without giving too much away, they have about 9.5 mins on the field. The corps did production run throughs last night before doing a run. My overall impressions, they're ahead of the game from where they were last season. The battery is locked in and IMHO one of the best lines they've had, possibly ever. In fact, I would go so far as to say they might be the driving force in the corps this season (just an opinion). Brass is what you would expect from Crown - solid sound and technically superior. They're a top 3 hornline for sure, though I feel there is greater room for improvement this season (which might be a challenge and a good thing). feels like a bit of younger line, especially in the high brass. But don't let that fool you, they have the talent to be as good as they've been in previous seasons. They're playing a lot of notes in the first five minutes of the show (wow), and they're moving quiet a bit. Color guard is much improved over last season and working hard. I can see the big steps in improvement over the past several weeks but there is still quite a bit of learning going on. This group has much more experience and should be more competitive. The "flags" in the ballad are amazing and will add a "wow" factor if it works the way they want it to. There are some props on the field, though we really didn't get a good idea of how they're going to be used. The show design feels more like what we would expect out of Crown previous to last season, though the story line isn't quite as clear yet. There are some cool moments already built in, but you can tell they're trying to get the entire package on the field. Great work ethic, and a bit more hype in this corps then I've seen in the past couple of years, I really like the personality of this group and I think they will do a great job projecting that to the audience. The front ensemble is having quite a bit of fun with their visuals this season. But the group that is really standing out to me so far is the drum line. They've had a bit of an attitude since December and are playing very very well. That's it for now, can't wait until the preview show. 7 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
